6/24/2023 0 Comments Kimi no na wa studio ghibli![]() ![]() The film is a Fantasy-Romance which follows the lives of two teenagers in Japan, a boy living in Tokyo and a girl living in a rural area, as they intermittently and accidentally swap bodies over what appears to be a few months due to a mostly unexplained magical phenomenon. Shinkai has long been dubbed “the new (Studio Ghibli’s) Hayao Miyazaki” despite his own protests, and the visuals and stunning cinematography of Kimi no Na Wa certainly live up to that title. Having said that, on with the review!Īs someone who went through a brief but incredibly intense anime phase/obsession a couple of years ago, it was impossible for me to stay away from Makoto Shinkai’s most recent offering given the unrelenting hype surrounding it in the western anime community, and Japan itself. ![]() So I am a little overexposed and my contrarian nature won’t let me simply praise Kimi no Na Wa along with everyone else, so I might be nit-picking. Everyone I know over the age of 10 has seen it. First things first, I live in Japan, and this movie was the most popular film of the year here by far. ![]()
